i've met john boehner two or three times in my life. if i have said 50 words in my life to john boehner i would be surprised and every one has consisted of pleasantries, good to see you, mr. speaker. i've never had any substantive conversation with john boehner in any respect. and indeed, this is something that's not publicly known. during the government shutdown i reached out to john boehner and i offered for us to come over and work with the speaker, can we resolve this and actually get something meaningful done to stop the disaster that is obamacare? john boehner's response was i have no interest in talking to you. what possibly could be accomplished by having a conversation, no, i will not meet. so when he says that i'm the worst guy he's ever worked with, he's never worked with me. the thing to understand about washington -- boehner's comments reveal everything you're angry with. when he calls me lucifer, he's not directing that at me. he's directing that at you. what boehner is angry with me for is not anything i've said to him. h

john boehner is not good at his job. we've ventured this as a hypothesis very early on in his speakership, i mean right from the beginning. it seemed like there might be something amiss, right? on the first day as speaker, he tried to have republicans pull off the stunt where they would read the whole constitution from the floor of the house. but even on day one, john boehner could not manage his own symbolic gesture. they skipped parts of the constitution. they skipped parts they did not like. and some parts they skipped because they were reading it out of a loose leaf binder and the pages stuck together. right then we should have known that was a bad sign. john boehner did not even succeed in getting all of his members sworn in when he took over as speaker. two new republican members of congress went to a reception and missed the swearing in. they apparently saw it happening on a tv screen that was playing at the reception, and they sort of tried to swear themselves in by raising their right hand to the television. but

john boehner is one of 12 children. he came from running ohio, i have seen his house, he was in a room with his brothers and sisters, his parents slept on a pull-out couch. never in a million years did he think he would graduate from college, be a successful businessman, get to congress, much less become speaker of the house. for him to have the pope next to him, i personally think from reading him for awhile, that was the highest of high and he saw what was on the horizon for the next few months. he could get through it if he wanted to but he would put a lot of his friends through difficult votes if they were to end up supporting him in one of those vacate the chair elections and thought this was the right time. he's not a legacy guy as he said today. i'm going to be very interested to see what he does after his time here in congress. i suspect he will go to his favorite pursuit which is golf. he's giot a very good handicap. he's got the place down in florida. but quite a striking turn of events. what's going to happen

. >> john boehner yesterday peaked. john boehner is from a town called redding, ohio. he grew up one of 12 in a very small house, never expected to graduate from college or get out of ruding, ohio. he realized that he peaked really at the top of the top yesterday. so as terms of why is he doing this, from what i'm told from aides is that boehner wants to protect the institution and he's actually references pope francis in regards to how pope benedict left the papacy of the catholic church, essentially that it had become too distracting for him to say on with all of these questions of whether or not there would be an insurrection over something as routine as funding the government. and boehner realized this had to do with him and he's falling on the sword. i'm told he will put his ducks in the row and try to leave the institution the best it can be for the party. whether that means kevin mccarthy will take over as speaker, we don't know. kevin mckacarthy has the same politics as john boehner. mccarthy does have better relationships with members individually so we'll see
